As an Ann Arbor resident who loves to go to Detroit, this is the dream.

The irony of Ford buying an old train station in Detroit, where the auto industry destroyed all hope of a viable public transportation system for many decades, is not lost on me.

Which makes your inability to read all the more tragic.

Lol, I said nothing remotely approaching “regulations are bad”. I was simply pointing out that California has turned into a neoliberal hellscape. So why don’t you calm down, work on your reading comprehension, and move on.

Hmmm, well, I’m a socialist, so my perception of what ails Venezuela has a perhaps more nuanced construct. It’s certainly not “printing money” that has caused Venezuela’s financial predicament. I’d also argue that inflation, as often as it is bandied about as this looming threat, is nowhere near being an issue. We…

Yeah but he dislocated his shoulder pointing at which kid he wanted the nanny to feed.

Well, there’s a massive public education issue that should probably be undertaken wherein folks need to be taught how federal finances actually work. We don’t really have to “raise the money” through taxes to pay for stuff. The government is supposed to provide for the general welfare of its citizens and is given the…

Are you claiming the base came out for him because he had concrete plans regarding specific goals? What were those? I voted for him because he was (is) black and I thought that was important enough in and of itself. But I was never deluded enough to think that liberal hope and change bullshit was anything but just…

1. I love this and the V90, but sitting in the V90 revealed that is was nowhere near spacious enough for our family, much less the V60.

No. They need to be abolished.

You’re a centrist because all you see are the blocks in the road. I don’t give a shit about impeachment personally, because, surprise, I don’t think it can happen. But the progressive policies that manage to break into the mainstream, only to be tut-tutted back to earth by centrists yelling over and over again “how…

What sort of “plan” would satiate your needs?

This diatribe was a lengthy way of saying: I’m a centrist who benefits from the status quo and therefore think aspirational politics is for the poors. Enjoy negotiating from a weak position, not having an inspirational message useful to getting out the vote, and saying “but how will we pay for it / pass it?” to every…

As far as I can tell, centrists only care about maintaining the status quo, from which they have greatly benefited. You can’t understand aspirational politics because everything’s fine and dandy for you, and that’s all that matters.

My dude, these democratic senators voted to confirm. How embarrassing for you.

I wasn’t being serious about direct democracy, but I think the Brexit vote requires some context. Namely: the UK has been under an austerity program since the great recession and people are suffering. Combine that with the usual right-wing demagoguery about big government, foreigners, etc, and you’ve got the Brexit…

This is one of the reason’s I think it’s hilarious for centrists to hand-wring about making sure “Democrats” like Joe Manchin don’t get primaried. He’s a Republican. The D next to his name means nothing. This idea that a “big tent” party is good for anything other than simply winning elections is bullshit. Great, you…

Democrats are out here voting to confirm these monsters on the cabinet. Voting to confirm Gorsuch. The least they could do is provide resistance where their limited power allows them to do so. They won’t even do that. There’s a really simple answer for why that most folks seem utterly unwilling to consider: they don’t…

Don’t forget the Senate which means that fucking Wyoming gets as much representation in one of wing of Congress as California!

Or as someone much smarter than me said, libertarianism is just astrology for men.
